Luna slightly kicks a small rock out of the cave to see what Ryan will do. She lets out another growl as her tail spikes up again and her eyes glow yellow again. Luna starts thinking that he is here to kill her since she is one of the last in her clans. She claws on the wall again as her fangs grow slightly as she looks out the cave

Ryan was conflicted about what to do, on one hand he was curious about what was inside the cave, on the other were whatever measly survival instincts he had, yelling at him to back off, as unlike a cat he didn't have nine lives, and satisfaction sure as hell wouldn't bring him back.

Sure, there was the fact that if whatever was inside there was aggressive it would have attacked already, but on the other hand, a cornered beast tends to lash out... In the end he did what was most likely a stupid, useless and futile thing and asked:"Anybody in there?"

Luna stops growling but her hair still is spike out from fear and anger mixed together. She still thinks that he is out to get her but she is able to smell the fear coming out of him. She thinks about it slightly as she puts her hand on her chest. She is scared but she doesn't want to transform. She lets out another growl as she backs away a little and keeps looking out

Deciding he ultimately valued his life more, Ryan back away from the cave himself, warily watching the opening for any sign of whatever was inside it changing it's mind and deciding he would make a good snack after all. Better to not be caught unaware, if that was the case.

Luna stops growling as Ryan backs away. He is not going to attack her? She though. She slowly starts walking out of the darkness and stops before she gets out of the cave.. She keeps both of her hands on her chest as her ears twitch slightly "What are you doing here...." She glares at him slightly as her fur from her tail spike up slightly

Ryan released a breath he hadn't known he had been holding, at the sight of the girl, but remained vigil anyway. "Trying to find the mass-grave that's supposedly around this area and failing horribly at that task", he quipped nervously, "You wouldn't happen to know the way would you?"

Luna lets out another growl as her tail gets up again "Why would you need something like that" She growls out as she gets out of the cave showing her white yukata as there are red flower patterns on it. She caress her white hair as she looks at Ryan with her yellow eyes

He cringed, that sentiment mirrored his thoughts exactly to be honest, "Because someone, who I truly, honestly am starting to think is a little bit insane, send me on another one of her errands. This included some rather weird things, like the bones of a virgin crone with a grudge. Something I suspect can be more easily found in there than anywhere else.". Ryan decided to answer bluntly.

He truly believed that too. He wouldn't have to go around digging for one. It was more easily to find a skeleton belonging to someone with a grudge among it too, as the grave in question was filled with the victims of war. The lack of rotting flesh was also a pro, definitely.

Luna look back at the cave and she starts going in "come..." She starts walking in and stops as she touches the wall with claw marks

Ryan decided to follow her, even if he was somewhat twitchy about it. His paranoia-senses were tingling....

Luna starts walking again and she pushes some rocks that where on the corner making the cave light up more. When light is able to be seen deeper in the caves there was lots of graves everywhere and little drawings on the walls. Luna sits down next to a grave "You could find one around here..."

Ryan blinked, Really, really now? For some strange reason he had the urge to bang his head against the wall. Maybe it was because he had been searching for it all this time, only to be casually shown it. "Thank you", he eventually said, not sure whether to laugh or cry. It wasn't quite as bad as one of those BSOD's Duna had talked about, and he still didn't quite understand. What the hell had a blue screen to do with anything, and how could it be deadly?

but still, REALLY?

He took out the stone he had been given, and walked passed the graves, holding the stone above them. When, after roughly 168 tries the sapphire finally turned black he knew he had hit jackpot. Muttering the phrase Duna had told him to say, the gem in his hand turned into a shovel. Once more he resisted the urge to facepalm.

He didn't understand much about magic, pretty much nothing actually, but if Duna knew how to transform a gem into shovel, couldn't she have just magicked it in a way that would make it so he wouldn't have to dig?

Okay, he knew he was being unfair now, but he was hungry, tired, parched, overly paranoid and had just had a minor semi-BSOD. That, and he was still wary of the girl watching him -which to be honest was a subset of the rampant paranoia- as it was kind of being like stared down by a predator for some reason.

And not in the fangirl-way one of his more popular friends had described either...

Luna narrows her eyes slightly as she sees what grave it was "Lyra...." She mumbles slightly. She leans against the grave she was next to as tears falls down her eyes. She clinches her fists "I'm sorry.... Raul..." She whispers as she hides her face behind the grave. She thought to herself that she can't show her tears infront of a human. She lets out a growl as she keeps holding onto the grave

Okay, Ryan officially felt like a dick. Despite currently not being in the best condition and state of mind, and even when he was not being among the brightest, or most sensitive to people's feelings -as Auntie Ellie could attest to- even he could see the girl was having trouble with this. Briefly he wondered how exactly the girl was related to whoever this grave belonged too, as it looked OLD, but he filed that thought away for later.

Despite the fact that he wanted to kick himself for it, as an opportunity like this was rather hard to come by, he decided to do the right thing. Having only dug for less than 3 minutes, it was easy to fill the grave again, until the only sign that something could have happened was the disturbed soil.

He couldn't easily find the words for what he wanted to say, but tried to anyway. Awkwardly he began "I'll... I won't... It's obvious the people buried here mean something to you, I couldn't do that..." , inwardly he continued, 'Even if it is for the person who, despite not knowing me for all that long, and making ridiculous requests all of the time, took the time to teach me things I needed to know but wasn't taught, and who, despite being younger than me, and rather annoyed that I fake a tendency to forget her name, fuzzes as much about him as any surrogate motherfigure.', but that latter went unsaid.

While true, it would probably only serve to guilt trip the girl, and he really didn't want that, damnit! He already decided not to go through with it, so there was no point in twisting the metaphorical knife. Especially in someone who had already been on the verge of tears because of what he had been about to do.

Luna wipes her tears and she stood up with her head high "Is this is not what you came for" Her tone sounded so cold like she didn't even care. In her mind she needed to forget, her pack betrayed her and left her to rot in a village fool of humans. Luna walks to him and caress his cheek slightly looking at his eye with her yellow one "You are tide down to a women" She smirks slightly as her tail moves to the left slightly as she giggles.

"Some shortcuts just aren't worth it", he answered, a bit confused by her sudden change of heart, before his tired mind caught up, and he recoiled, because of her last sentence, "Wait! What? just...nooo!!", Ryan spluttered comically, "Well, I guess technically I have ties to her, and she´s a woman...`, he scrunched up in his face in disgust, "But we´re not together, and not like that... EVER!", he shuddered, The very idea of it is just plain wrong...".
